Through the Straits...
We moved through the Straits to enter the Arabian Gulf today. This is quite
an event because of all the force protection that has to be stood up in the
ESG-5 (Expeditionary Strike Group). You'll see this in the photos.
Top left, the ships in the ESG-5 fall into line to pass through the Straits.
Top right, you'll see a AH-1W Cobra helicopter on standby on the flight deck
with one of the ESG-5 ships following in trace. Bottom left, pilots sit in
the cockpit of the AH-1W Cobra on standby for an immediate mission. Bottom
right, a Navy sailor mans a 25 mm gun on the starboard side of the ship.
